Gautami fitness trip
Gautami training includes strength training, PilatesAnd a cardio like zumba or walking on a treadmill. “I started exercising at 15, long before the gymnasiums were common. My goal was always health, not just looks because I come from a family of doctors. ”
She first focused on the race and the aerobic – and even traveled a distance of 0 to 15 km in the Shivaji park – but later realized that she was overtraining. “At the time, women lifting weights was not one thing. I did an excessive cardio and I followed extreme diets without appropriate guidance. It led to my injury for years later. I had done so much cardio that he had eaten in my lean muscle mass. It taught me the biggest lesson.”
